A global electronics distributor faced increasing challenges in inventory forecasting, demand planning, and supply chain visibility due to fragmented SAP data, frequent product launches, and manual planning workflows. Sales, purchase, and inventory data spread across multiple SAP files limited forecasting accuracy and slowed decision-making. By deploying Infoveave, the organisation centralised planning through a real-time forecast screen powered by NGauge Forms — enabling accurate demand forecasting, optimised inventory levels, improved in-transit visibility, and faster decisions across the supply chain through a unified data platform.

Real-Time

Supply chain visibility across in-transit and on-hand stock

The Challenge

The distributor manages a highly complex electronics supply chain across multiple product lines, regions, and customers. Effective PSI (Purchase–Sales–Inventory) planning requires tight alignment between sales demand, purchase orders, in-transit inventory, warehouse stock, and pricing and currency variations.

As the business scaled, fragmented SAP and master data across multiple systems and spreadsheets made end-to-end visibility increasingly difficult. The key challenges:

Sales, purchase, inventory, and pricing information were scattered across multiple SAP systems and Excel files with no consolidated view
Heavy reliance on spreadsheets slowed planning cycles and increased the risk of errors
Limited insight into in-transit inventory or upcoming product launches made demand planning unreliable
Frequent new product models and pricing updates made forecasts difficult to maintain and adjust quickly
Teams struggled to balance inventory — avoiding excess stock while also preventing missed sales opportunities

Manual planning processes could not keep pace with the speed and complexity of the business. A purpose-built supply chain analytics platform with data automation capabilities was needed to replace spreadsheet-driven workflows.

The Solution

Infoveave unified sales, purchase, inventory, and in-transit data into a single supply chain planning platform. Interactive PSI and Forecast screens enabled planning for frequent product launches and pricing changes without reliance on spreadsheets or static dashboards.

Unified Data Platform

SAP sales, purchase, inventory, and in-transit data were consolidated into a single source of truth. This provided end-to-end visibility across the supply chain and eliminated the delays caused by working across disconnected files.

NGauge Forms — Editable Forecasts and Workflow Automation

User-friendly NGauge Forms allowed teams to manage forecasts, pricing updates, and new model launches directly — without IT involvement. Built-in validations ensured accuracy, and changes were reflected across planning views in real time.

Automated PSI Planning

Standardised workflows handled demand forecasting, inventory optimisation, pricing automation, and scenario analysis using predefined business rules. This reduced manual effort and improved consistency across planning cycles.

Real-Time Reporting

Continuous visibility into forecasts, inventory levels, and supply chain performance enabled faster and more confident decisions. Raw data access was also available for audit and record-keeping purposes.

Results

Improved forecast accuracy through centralised data and automated reconciliation logic across SAP sources
Optimised inventory levels with clear visibility into on-hand and in-transit stock reducing both overstock and stock-out risks
Enhanced supply chain visibility enabling proactive planning and faster responses to demand or supply changes
Operational efficiency gains through automation of manual forecasting, reconciliation, and reporting tasks
Scalable planning platform ready to support new products, customers, and planning scenarios as the business grows
